I used to be advised that surfers come to this seaside to catch waves. The vast majority of the individuals on the seaside had been certainly surfers. Out of the roughly 100 people who I counted at this seaside, there have been possibly 10 like me, who had been there to put on the sand and soak within the solar. Everybody else was fairly severe about browsing and having fun with the waves.
Once I drove out right here, the Solar was hiding behind clouds however there was nonetheless loads of blue sky and water. However by the point I had made myself comfy on the sand, the Solar was BLISTERING. I used to be carrying a sheet to cowl myself, but it surely was unbearably sizzling and sweaty beneath there. There’s zero shade on the black-sand Ngarunui seaside – besides precisely one half-fallen down tree, which was, clearly, already occupied.
What a stunningly stunning seaside although. I simply didn’t have the power to shoot any self-portraits. I had deliberate to take action previous to leaving however I used to be so hell bent on getting out that I simply couldn’t get myself to collect the power to arrange the tripod and pose.
It’s a STEEP climb down and up from the seaside to the automotive park. There’s a bathe on the entrance to the seaside and likewise on the automotive park, however bogs are solely on the automotive park.
Would LOVE to return to Raglan and discover extra seashores on the shoreline!
I additionally visited Piha Seaside, Mataitai Bay, Haroto Bay, Whakatiwai, I drove alongside State Freeway 22 and ended my journey with a day spent photographing extra of myself and writing, on the Les Batkin Reserve on the Waikato Riverside. Clearly, extra picture tales coming quickly. I additionally plan to wrap it up all with a complete submit about all the New Zealand journey.
Thanks for studying!
